The Newark Valley Central School District is proud to join districts across New York in celebrating New York State Board of Education Appreciation Week, held from Oct. 14 to 18, 2024. This special week, sponsored by the New York State School Boards Association (NYSSBA), recognizes the essential contributions of school board members who support public education.

At Newark Valley, we are fortunate to work alongside a dedicated group of board members who volunteer their time, energy, and expertise to guide our district. We honor:

- Randal H. Kerr, President

- Susan Watson, Vice President

- Sarah Hines

- Lisa Jensen

- James Phillips

- Anthony D. Tavelli

- Stuart Wandell

These individuals play a crucial role in shaping policies, overseeing budgets, and ensuring that every student has access to the resources they need for success. Their leadership, vision, and advocacy foster a strong educational environment in our schools and community.

NYSSBA’s School Board Recognition Week serves as a reminder of the vital role school board members play in public education. It also encourages community members to stay informed and engaged in supporting their local school boards.

As we celebrate this special week, we invite everyone to join us and thank our board members for their dedication and commitment to helping every student succeed.
